I can understand allowing the appeal, maybe, but if the appeal is the batter who missed first, I don't understand the reasoning to allowing them, in essence, to skip over the IW'd batters. If the out is B3, what can take place after that? Those walked batters should be allowed to bat next inning. This is over punishing the offense for a missed base.
